New flagship for Ferris

摘要

The new Ferris IS5000Z mid-mount, zero-turn radius (ZTR) mower for commercial turf care applications represents several firsts. It is the first time Ferris has produced a diesel-powered riding mower. It's also the first time a piece of turf care equipment in this size class has been designed specifically to use a Caterpillar diesel engine as its power plant. "We reviewed our product line and realized we needed to build a larger more powerful mower," said Bob Laurin, research and development manager at Ferris Industries. "Commercial operators are demanding more power, more durability and more comfort from their turf care equipment, all of which equals improved productivity The IS5OOOZ is designed to meet these demands and fill the role of flagship mower in our product line. This machine is larger overall than anything we have ever built."
